The gain in the circulating money of
the country in the nine months ended
April l, amounted to about $50, OOO, 600,
and, what is more, every dollar of 1t
has been drawn into active employment
by the revival of business. This Is not
what greenback, anti-monopoly papers
would have the public believe, but il is
true. There are some people who are
never happy unless they are miserable,
paradoxical as this assertion may APP
pear, and there are newspapers that
are never satisfied to report prosperity
or contentment.

the high license bill, passed wholly in
the interest of New York city and
Brooklyn. He took the ground that as
the provisions of the bill only applied
to those two cities, it was special legis-

made arrangements by which it will be
necessary to run the line west OF Har-

drawn under instructions from ]. C..

above as his reasons. This may mean
that Medicine Lodge is to be on the

If property is not held too high, it
will change hands occasionally in a
new town such as this is. The trans
fers here are nearly nothing compared
to Kiowa or even to Hazelton. We
have the good of our town at heart, and
do not wish to have our prospects ruin
ed by having purchasers driven to 9TH
er points. After awhile we will have
to give some railroad half the town to
come here. Why not make a prosper
Gus town, where railroads will be anx-
iOuS to come?
